Auto On Vika Vanity

Materials: Black Vika Viene table top, Vika Legs, Mirrors, LEDs, Reed SwitchDescription: After seeing the previous Vika Vanity on here I knew I had to make one for my girl friend as she did not have a place to get ready in the mornings

I bought a black Vika Veine table top, attached the legs, placed (2) 12×12 mirror tiles from Home Depot ($10 for a 6 pack) with velcro and ran the LED strip.

The LED strips have adhesive on the back so it worked out great, very simple. I then wired in a Reed Switch so that when the top is opened the LEDs come on automatically.

The Wifey spruced it up with some matching fabric in red with sparkles as well as all her makeup.

The side unit has all her bottles, nail stuff and irons and I believe I saw our kitchen sink somewhere in there as well.

Hey James!! Love your hack on my hack!! Love the auto lights! That’s one thing with mine I’d like to change as I have to physically switch it on every time I use the table. Your wife and I are very lucky girls!! We have the best husbands to build us great things

I’m in love with it, too! The idea is just awesome. I want to combine vanity and working table and that’s just how it might be workable. Problem is I don’t like any of the talbe legs – I prefere those of ISALA or LEKSVIK, yet it’s too expensive to buy 2 tables and combine only half the parts. But I won’t give up on the project…
